We made a spur of the moment trip to the big island and found this condo. I was surprised it was available on such short notice. The unit as quiet, clean and right on the ocean. It is located next to one of the three pools on the property as well as a gas BBQ. We found it very relaxing. My only critisism is that there is a seperate $20/day charge to use the air conditioning. It is walking distance to the Sheriton. We did night snorkeling to see the manta rays that hang out at night nearby.

Room Descriptions

View

Unit 2301 at Kanaloa is one of the choice spots in the complex. We are ocean front with unobstructed views of the water, relaxing sea breezes and loads of privacy. The Ocean pool/picnic area is just around the corner. The patio area, which previously housed an Oceanside restaurant, now closed for business, is now available for use by our renters and owners. Several tables and chairs provide an area for eating or watching the beautiful Hawaiian sunsets each evening.

Entry Area

The unit is tiled throughout. The entry is to the great room; there you will find a shoe rack and a clothes tree to accommodate your towels and wraps. Within the unit in addition to the great room are a kitchen, hall, 2 bedrooms and baths. Inside the entry closet are boogie boards, coolers etc. available for our guests to use and enjoy!

Lanai

Off the dining area, with its authentic Hawaiian table and chairs which can easily seat 4 guests, is the large lanai. We have a couch, granite table and ‘swing’ chair which most guests find quite enjoyable. A wet bar with granite top is next to the eating area which also provides seating for 4 people.

Living Room

As you enter, the first thing you will notice is the absolutely beautiful view and sounds of the ocean. This is the only rental unit in Kanaloa where the 4 sliding doors have been removed and replaced with one very large glass accordion style door: entirely opening the lanai and ocean to the living area. Imagine the beauty of the outside immediately becoming part of the inside. Renters from September to May will enjoy Hawaiian sunsets from the quartzite tiled lanai.
The great room is furnished with durable leather furniture which wipes up in a second. While air conditioning is available, this room like all others has Hawaiian style ceiling fans to keep you cool. With the bay window, fold away lanai doors and the rhythmic sounds of the ocean waves, you know that you are absolute ocean front. Several family oriented movies are located near the new Blu-Ray DVD for your enjoyment. There is an I-Pod player and CD player with a huge selection of Big Island music.

Kitchen

The kitchen has been completely remodeled with stainless steel double sinks, faucets, refrigerator and dish washer. Counter tops are granite and floor large tile. Two walls were removed during the renovation which had previously enclosed the kitchen area. The new open area concept encourages the chefs in the family to enjoy guests, the large flat screen TV with DVD player, or the ocean view while preparing snacks or meals. An adjoining bar with stools enables guests and host to visit freely.

Laundry

The laundry closet contains stacked ‘he’ Samsung, ocean blue, front load washer and dryer. They are high efficiency units; therefore, require detergent that has ‘he’ in the label. A large container of the appropriate soap is situated on the table next to the laundry closet for your convenience.

Master Bedroom

Our master bedroom has a king sized pillow top bed, dresser and night stands. An area off the bedroom has been built to provide a small desk or computer area. It has a pocket door to allow for even more privacy. A wall mounted big screened TV is also available for watching TV following a day of wonderful activities in Paradise.

Master Bathroom

Both bathrooms have been remodeled and feature glass block, walk in oversized showers with rain forest heads, double sinks, granite countertops and travertine floors. One bath is located across the hall from guest bedroom, while the other is off the master bedroom.

Second Bedroom

The guest bedroom has 2 twin beds for children or young adults. Beds may be moved together and made up as a king with advance request. A new flat screen TV has just been added as well as dresser. A book shelf is well stocked for those who enjoy reading. Feel free to borrow or leave a used book for future guests.

Perfect place to stay and enjoy Hawaii

When you first enter this condo you are automatically drawn to stand by the sliding door that allows you to overlook the ocean. The view is amazing. The condo itself has a spacious and airy feeling to it. We felt at home in no time. The location of the unit within the complex is perfect, steps away from a very nice swimming pool, parking close at hand. The bathtowels did have an unpleasant smell which we realized came from the washing machine in the unit which had the same musty, unpleasant smell. We ran a cleaning cycle with bleach which cured the problem and then rewashed the towels. If we pay Hawaii another visit next year, this is the place we would come to.

Stayed 5 nights in early September 2014 with a party of 3. The condo offers a lot of room, you could comfortably sleep 4, and squeeze in 6 if you wanted to be tight.
Great ocean front view, waves crashing into the rocky shore, boats, paddlers, and kayakers passing by offshore make for great scenery. Sunsets too right off the balcony. Shopping and some beach access within walking distance.
This condo was well equipped with everything you'd expect & more. Some nice beach gear in the closet that we used once.
Can't really think of any negatives, it was a great rental. I'd recommend it for anyone unless you expect a big sandy beach outside your door. That's not here.

A first rate condo. Our first visit to the Big Island and discovered the condo to be in a convenient location, close to all our interests. The layout is awesome, the folding windows transform the indoors and lanai as one. Can't say enough about this feature. After playing all day this condo really became our home. A great find!

My husband, toddler, and I really loved our recent stay at Kanaloa 2301. The condo was nicely updated with very comfortable furniture (both inside and on the lanai), had lovely views of the ocean, and was very conveniently located just steps away from the oceanside pool and barbecue area. We spent most of the time we spent at 2301 on the lanai and my husband and I competed for time in the oh-so-comfortable swing. The condo was very spacious, and my son had lots of room to toddle around. In sum, although we knew from the website that we were getting a lovely condo at a great price, our expectations were well exceeded.

The codo was spacious and the resort was well kept and quiet. It landed in the sweet spot between residential and big resort hotel. There was no beach but the condo is located right next to a beautiful pool overlooking the ocean. In the morning we would pack the car for the beach / snorkeling adventure and then come back for afternoon pool fun. The ocean view directly out the condo lanai was great and the waves crashing was peaceful. A car is a must for this location but if someone needs to they can still get to the trolley that runs into town via a 10 min. walk. Shopping center is also a 10 min walk and has everything you need.

The condo was perfect. The lanai was superb. The condo was well stocked and everything we needed was there and perfectly cleaned. It was comfortable and tastefully decorated. The property in which the condo is located is very well maintained and all employees were extremely professional and helpful. The location of the condo was perfect. The view is to die for and we spent all of our time out on the lanai. We didn't even use the living room at all, as we perferred the view of the ocean and the sound of the waves over a tv. The lanai door was very convenient when we entertained for one evening.
The only issue we saw was the towels. Although they did the job, they probably need to be replaced. Due to the humidity of the island, towels and linens needed to be laundered more than usual and they are alittle worn. This is not the fault of the condo owners, just something people have to live with when living in paradise!!!

Aloha,

We do listen to our clients' comments and I assure you we will come up with some thicker, more absorbent towels. The really, really thick ones take a very long time to dry so I will try to find a happy medium. We appreciate you mentioning it.

Lovely recently re-modeled unit. We have stayed at Kanaloa before an enjoyed it, but this unit was especially great. Close to pool, heard waves crashing at night, and had newer furnishings, so was comfortable. It is a good space for 2-4 people only. Kitchen was well stocked, and beds comfy, Loved the redone kitchen and appliances!. Only downside was the people upstairs were quite noisy, so it disrupted a few nights of serenity, otherwise would reccomend this place.

Aloha and Mahalo!
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in Paradise and sincerely hope you will return one day. Your comments are very pleasant and will be written in our 'review' space. It is always refreshing to receive such nice words!
We can understand the overhead noise which all downstairs units seem to experience. We decided it was better than climbing stairs so it is a toss-up for most guests. Kanaloa is very strict with regard to the 10:00 P.M. quiet time and our Security People are quick to respond and work hard to ensure our guests have a quiet and pleasurable experience. I hope our guests never hesitate to notify them if there is an issue with noise or smoking.
The guest bedroom fan is scheduled to be replaced in July as it is a bit rusted. Hard to avoid when on the Ocean. Sorry you were not given the opportunity to enjoy it.
Aloha,

All-in-all everything went well. There was plenty of dishes, pots and pans and simular stuff. The usit is laid out nicely with a beartiful lanai off of the kitchen. We spent most of our time on the lanai, morning or night. The weather helped on that account.
We used the bar-b several times and it was clean and we used the pools also and they were clean and comfortable.

We loved the location, great view and all the amenities.

Very Nice Condo

This was our 3rd stay at the property in the past 20 years; however, our first stay at this unit. Its a beautiful unit and the Ball's should be very proud to own it. The view from the lanai was exceptional with the swing, couch, and table for four. Of course, that is where we were when not sleeping. We loved the new folding doors! We also appreciated the use of the bogey boards. I also liked the master bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. Clearly, there have been some upgrades including tile work, washer and dryer, etc., in this unit. We also found the living room furnishings very nice.
Here are a few recommendations:
Spare Bedroom:
+Be able to join single beds together for a double bed
+Replace ceiling fan with a more powerful multi-speed 52" fan
+Purchase a small dresser drawer
+Purchase clothes hangers...or at least keep the ones we purchased. I've never had to purchase my own hangers before. We bought 2-3 dozen and left them there...our contribution.
Spare Bathroom:
+Repair or replace vent fan
+Install towel hooks and additional towel rack
Kitchen:
+Replace kitchen knives...very dull, keep them in a wood block rather than a drawer. The ones in the unit look to be original equipment from early 80s.
+Did not find a spatual to flip eggs or pancakes, but did find more than one potatoe masher...didn't cook a potatoe all week:)
Kaleo was very nice and personable...lots of aloha! The price was reasonable and we would stay here again...if just my wife and I. As it was, we had 2 couples and we had to stay in the guest bedroom, with the single beds. I won't do that again, nor will I make anyone coming with us do that.
Thank you for this opportunity to provide remarks. Once again, the Ball's should be very proud to own this unit. I wish them the best!

Manager Response

Aloha,
Thank you for all the kind words. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our "Home away from Home". It was very nice of you to take the time to write your thoughts and suggestions. We are very new at this and do appreciate your views..
We have purchased the equipment to make the 2 single beds into one large one. We had 2 couples sharing the unit and made that request a while back but it must have been after your visit. My guess is Kaleo has them stored somewhere and sets it up when requested. Honestly, I did not realize there was anything like that available until our Condo management service mentioned it. Normally, we have families etc. so it is more convenient to have 2 smaller beds with the conversion available. We had them 'bunk' style for our Grandchildren when they visited. Having said that, most of our guests are not willing to climb a ladder to get into bed!
I have extra hangers here and will take them over. We left plenty but they seem to have disappeared. Thanks for supplying new ones. Also a spatula as I have extra ones here. We also have more family tapes for our visitors to enjoy. There is a small dresser in the closet which we felt was large enough for guests. That room is pretty small. Perhaps we can get a larger one for the closet as that is quite large.
As you know, the ocean has a horrible effect on all our furnishings and especially the things that have metal surfaces. We had problems with rust and deterioration while living there. Somehow, that view makes it okay though! I will check into the knife situation.
We will take your other suggestions under consideration.
Again, we are happy that you enjoyed the other amenities our unit offers. We would love to have you visit again.
Mahalo,
Sandy Ball
PS Yes, Kaleo is a very kind and thoughtful person and represents us and our unit very well. I am sure he appreciated your kind words.

Terrific 5 nights

My wife and I spent 5 nights at Unit 2301. The condo was spacious, in excellent shape and right on the water. The doors open from the dining area off the kitchen and essentially make the lanai an extension of the apartment. The kitchen is amply stocked with most essentials for general cooking, and cookware, knives, etc. are well appointed.
Perhaps the only thing that would have been appreciated, at least by us, was a stereo of some type in the main area; however, a) there is a small boom box that we moved from one of the bedrooms and that worked a-ok; and b) the 2 flat screen Tv's do earn them some savvy media chops.
We loved our time there and we would go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.
